RITUALS & SPELLS || Casting a Circle || Wicca 101

Hiya Beans!
In today's video, I am discussing how to get started with spells and rituals and how you can cast your own! Of course, there is so much more to learn about casting spells, yet this hopefully will give you a basic understanding :)
Blessed Be!

What a great video! I am confused on something you said. My friend & me just started meeting once a week. Why only do spells if you need to? I ask because we want to grow in our spiriture journey. I feel if we don't practic we won't grow? You are amazing! Thank you for your channel.

[@EllaHarrison]

It’s mainly just an idea that was taught by different Wiccan teachers and I suspect it is to ensure that you put in effort into each spell you cast, as if you cast a massive spell for ‘every little thing’ it might become less special, and personally I think it might also be to remind people that each decision needs to be thought through and sometimes there are quicker ways of reaching a goal: for example if you are looking for a job, the first step would most likely be checking for vacancies around your area and only then you would cast a spell. But on that note, I do agree with you in that practicing is so important and if they are more ‘everyday’ spells then I would definitely say go for it! I suppose it is more about ‘big’ spells like manifesting your soulmate that you would only cast a spell if you made sure you thought it through and tried other ‘conventional’ techniques beforehand

[@bizarreindividual4026]

@@EllaHarrison thank you so much for responding!

[@EllaHarrison]

Of course! I hope my answer was helpful :)

[@Bornless666]

You have to be careful not to exhaust yourself or mix up energies. Too much out there can be bad. Sometimes lighting a candle and meditating can help u grow just as much.

[@lucasdunton4759]

Please do not ever stop making videos! Our community needs more content like this! You are truly a goddess and blessing upon midgard!

[@honeypot9867]

Pro tip for those who can’t visualize. Whether that’s due to visual impairment or aphantasia, visualization isn’t something that is as important as stated in the video. It can be key to some but not to all. For the rest of us who are unable to visualize anything, instead focus on feeling the energy flowing through your body. It will have the same effect as visualizing. If you feel your energy and the energy around the room, you can shift that energy by using your own. It’s just another form of cleansing that doesn’t involve tools or visualization. Blessed be.

[@melolore1280]

Thank you Ella,I’m certain you’ve helped many of us? You may be the most beautifully humble young woman I’ve seen do this,it’s very refreshing? Thank you again, blessed be

[@EllaHarrison]

Ohh gosh thank you 🥺🥺❤️🙏🏼

[@Kate-yt7gk]

Thank you this was such a great video, I’m excited to learn more from you!!

[@l0vejasp]

It’s nice to see army witches

[@goon_ass1675]

Baby witch here, thank you so much for the guide!

[@jabbersjay6871]

I’m a baby witch and this really helped a lot! I look forward to your other videos :) Blessed be 🌙

[@quick1001001]

I think you have cast a spell on me while watching your videos because I can’t seem to get enough of watching you.. 😂 Great information!

[@livfrancesactor]

I've fallen in love with your videos the past month!! Quick question for anyone who can answer; can I use a 40mm crystal ball for scrying??? It's tiny but its all I really have room for

[@EllaHarrison]

Thank You so much! ❤️🙏🏼 And yes definitely, you can use a lot of different mediums, a bowl of water for example, I will make a video on scrying in the future as well 😁

[@MeagonHardy-sq3nm]

This is so interesting to learn about and thank you for your informative videos.

[@jessicadyer4099]

I really love your videos Ella :) They're very informative and you deliver it in a way that's easy to understand 😊🖤

[@kathryn9128]

Fabulous video as per normal! I really enjoy your content and this was so informative and enlightening. I value having other peoples view points on wiccan matters as it's hard to know where to begin aha cant wait for more content xx

[@honeysawyers315]

i am so scared of doing magic because what if i do it wrong and something bad happens anyway i love you ella i hope you the best

[@EllaHarrison]

Something bad would only happen if that is your intention! Magick is so much about your intentions, and if you cleansed yourself and also cast a circle, then nothing bad would happen - unless of course the spells you cast are ‘darker’ type of spells Blessed Be ✨

[@annasharanevych6950]

Your videos are amazing for someone whos researching wicca and seeing what its all about. I love your channel. I was wondering if you could make a video explaining deities and how to find them, etc

[@EllaHarrison]

Thank You so much! Yes I will definitely be making a video on this in the future! 🙏🏼✨

[@annasharanevych6950]

EllaHarrison thank you ❤️

What spell do you use for beauty? Cause it really works, you are very beautiful witch ;)

[@EllaHarrison]

Hahaha thank you 😅

[@juliacorrea7549]

quick question! you seem bilingual like me. do you cast spells in english or in your native language? i do it both ways! 😂

[@EllaHarrison]

My native language is English actually 😅 but I grew up bilingual so German and English, for some reason my German accent comes out more when I film 🙈 But I usually do everything in English including spells and rituals

[@zackstanley9081]

Im just learning this religion...i love it but I didnt no to release the spell what should I do after I seen your video I went around the room to free them i hipe its not wrong

[@bryanpoore9132]

You have so much knowledge! Love your videos

I'm a beginner, what drew me in to watch your videos was the fact that you have long, blonde hair, as do I! I love that you put things so simply. 🥰

Bonjour beautiful Ella, thank U 4 your video, I thought that U would have done the circle literally so we could see it as well, maybe at another time maybe? take care xxxxxxxxxxx

[@giacomolombardi283]

Amazing video!! I never done a ritual or a spell before and i would like to try but I'm a bit ashamed and anxious about that and I'm afraid that this energies could influence the spell, what can i do??

[@EllaHarrison]

I might have just the right thing for you coming soon! But as a little tip: try to forget about the spell once you did it, that helps me! 🙏🏼

[@alyssawheaton4380]

Another amazing video ❤️

[@daniellacarrasco2305]

I loved your video! 💞 I have a question, today I did a spell, but I’m not sure if it worked because there was a mishap with where I placed it. Am I allowed to redo the spell?

[@EllaHarrison]

Thank You 💗 and of course! That is actually one of the reasons for keeping a Book of Shadows - so you can check what might’ve gone wrong, and are able to adjust it accordingly 😁

Dear Ella, I love your videos!!! You're amazing! Can you tell me how the book is called at the beginning of the video? Greetings from Switzerland 😊

[@EllaHarrison]

Thanks so much! I think you mean the book in my Thumbnail? It is The Encyclopedia of 5000 spells by Judika Illes 😁

[@tschiniiiii1204]

@@EllaHarrison thank you very much!! Do you know a cleansing ritual that can be done in the shower? I do now something about baths but is there something for the shower🙄😁 or do you already have a video about it? Greetings 🙏

[@Blueowl896]

Hi Ella . I am a newbie to Wicca . On my Path a year and a Day. Thank you for all you share. Connected with you and your channel and I am very much inspired. I have obtained the following two books recommended by you .(Bucklands Complete Book of Witchcraft and Scott Cunningham Living Wicca Guide for Solitary Practitioner. Please be so kind to explain exactly what the dif is between a Spell and a Ritual. If you have shared this please direct me. Thank you so much for sharing. Warm Regards and Blessings

Can u use selenite to cleanse area? Have cats. Not good for them to inhale

[@vaddie666]

what are good books for beginner wiccans??

[@kamisamiart1761]

Sorry if this question is daft but can someone explain the difference between a ritual, spell and rite?

[@amywake6822]

Hi I’m a baby witch and I’m very new so take this with a grain of salt 😂 but from my understanding, a spell is something more low key and short, while a ritual is something more planned, that may take longer to carry out and to come into effect. Sorry I don’t know what a rite is butI hope this helps :)

[@elaiinejennings5426]

Well that was 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

[@TheSilvermoonstar]

I took notes lol thank you.

[@exzy6747]

Hey Ella I just wanted to ask why do people spell Magic as Magick?

[@EllaHarrison]

It’s a really good subject to research actually! It mostly is attributed to Aleister Crowley, in an effort to better distinguish between ‘real’ magick (with a k) and show magic (or trick magic, so the stuff you see at shows or circuses etc). Not everyone uses it though and lots of practitioners prefer to use magic instead if magick

[@gaynorbowmaster5289]

Hello I've always been drawn towards wicca, but it's only recently (in the past week) that I decided to study it more. Since I've made that decision, I feel happier and lighter. As if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Is this a good indication that I'm doing the right thing?

[@mfnfmfnf2032]

Protective circle protects the summoner but what about the other people in our house who will not even know about our ritual? Are they in danger? And how can we protect them?

[@EllaHarrison]

You could definitely put up house protection wards, and if you like even gift family members protective jewellery

[@elaiinejennings5426]

I'm a complacent Wiccan Witch and i meditate, do yoga and find blessings in simple everyday things. But, I need some extra strength and stronger spells. I need to have my Grandson back in my life. My son, dead beat Dad and narcissistic sociapath, has turned my Grandson's Mummy against me. I'm broken hearted but keep hanging on to my Wiccan faith but nothing seems to be working. Please please please send me the necessary spell/spells to advance in getting that baby back in my life. PLEASE. 🙏. Blessed be. 🙌

[@EllaHarrison]

So this spell should work: Take your phone, and call your lawyer and a therapist.

[@elijahnowell1315]

[@user-eh9by3zn6e]

what if I'm just practicing a spell or just practicing a circal?

[@jacquelinesakala24]

hi first time watching this very much interested,some intro and guidance plz

[@localphoenix]

Thank you! Do you have a favorite book of spells?

[@malva9092]

Does anyone know if magick and LOA can be used to produce physical changes? (Not to turn someone into a frog, but to thicken my hair and stuff like that) pardon my ignorance 😭

[@EllaHarrison]

Mhhhh it’s a bit of a blurry territory, I personally do believe that that you can achieve small changes sort of in line with a placebo effect but a spell could help you find the right product to help with hair thickening

[@serenadinu7320]

thank You🌹

[@jonaspatron5936]

What about the Black Candle?

[@Chikinkin697]

Im new to this and everytime I try to watch this kind of stuff my head feels like its floating and I wanna sleep whyyy? Is it not for me?

[@mooony22]

I need help with something. I tried to talk to my parents about me being a witch. But didn’t directly tell them just asking what they think about witches in trawl life. My dad joked around and just talked about I’m ok with them especially when they give me herbs but my mom thinks witches always have bad intentions. How should I explain that is not true?

[@RiverAldavya]

Send her a video on witches and witchcraft, or write an essay on the subject.

[@sherrystory9498]

Do you need help?

[@meowmeowkitty2]

What do I do If I can't get a wand?

[@dylan8454]

So could one pray to gods and deities in a quick and simple fashion like Judeo-Christians pray? Or would you have to do a ritual?

[@EllaHarrison]

You could do a prayer like that, people likely prayed to the old Gods like that too prior to Christianisation

[@tuketherecluse9571]

Do miracle healings of physical ailments ever occur?I'm seeking help for eye disease.

[@EllaHarrison]

Sorry not really, that would require medical attention

[@carlbergelcias]

What spell do you use to steal my heart?

[@calebjohnson6596]

Can somebody explain why more "left hand" path methods are so frowned upon? It seems like actually using your subconscious and connecting with the Godhead on a more intimate level by actually using that emotion and intent? I just dont understand why its taught that the mind is the enemy when we are literally our mind? It makes sense to control it but not to shy away from it. I'm not trying to demean any way of thinking.. just genuinly curious.

[@EllaHarrison]

The left hand path usually refers to baneful magick, ‘negative’ spellwork etc. Usually associated with working with demons/that energy entity. However, of course occultists and practitioners will argue that nature is a balance of left and right and good and bad, therefore us even saying ‘good vs bad’ is a very human-thing to do. The right hand path is more associated with purely positive or good magick and not doing any sort of hexing or baneful workings It definitely is a bit of a stigma and that is why the left hand path is frowned upon

[@Capella888]

So do you have to cast a circle every time before you do a spell?

[@EllaHarrison]

No - honestly it depends on you, and also different people and paths will call it differently too - you could simply just cleanse your space before with some incense, a bell, or just visualisation. A circle is a more ceremonial approach, and generally I like to say ‘it won’t harm to cast some form of protective circle’

[@itslizzy795]

Hmm? Just curious .... ... Are you a white witch or a black magic witch. Sorry it's just curiousity

[@jadaaaaa5034]

there are many types of witches and those are on a type...

[@darkparadise-gk9od]

I love your video but don’t burn sage to cleanse your space if you are not native! It’s a close practice!!

[@EllaHarrison]

Sage is not closed, sage exists all over the world. There are loads of different sage species - the white sage specific to california and that region is sacred to the Natives, but common sage or blue sage, kitchen sage etc is not 🙏🏼

[@crystallol2157]

I have a question can you do small spells like lighting a candle or lifting something can you explain in your next video how to do that.

[@goon_ass1675]

I think if you can direct your energy well enough you might be able to, but it's a very hard maybe.

Don't cast a spell or ritual when your tired me: that barely gets sleep Oh can u cast a spell with a friend ?

[@ストローベリーボバ]

I just started btw

[@EllaHarrison]

You can cast with friends and the idea is not to cast spells when exhausted as spells are exhausting in themselves and you would want to be able to feed energy into the spell - you can’t pour from an empty cup if that makes sense

[@leonardventigan9882]

Do you have a spell that can take a lot of lives😈😈😈
